Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche

by Rebecca L. Brown

Real men don’t eat quiche,
                 Here he goes again,
He said,
                 She thought,
Real men eat potted snacks
                 Potted plants would be more nutritious
Instant gratification, just add water.
                 And nothing instant is ever worth the wait.
Real men eat rare steak, raw steak
                 This man faints at the sight of fake blood,
Straight from the cow
                 Complains when there’s blood on his plate,
Screw the knives and forks.
                 Complains, to be fair, most of the time.
Real men…
                 Shut up and eat your quiche
                 She said.
